The berms shall be landscaped to the Council's satisfaction. Where natural topography creates a visual screen between mineral workings and adjacent public highways and streets or other land uses (excepting forestry and agriculture), additional screening may not be required. Where effective screening for any mineral working or associated processing or manufacturing use cannot be installed or located as required in (a) - (c) above, the Council may refuse to permit the use or associated activity. 10.

Termination and Site Rehabilitation Upon completion of the mineral working, the following work shall be carried out by the operation: (a) (b) (c) (d) All buildings, machinery and equipment shall be removed. All pit and quarry slopes shall be graded to slopes less than 20 o or to the slope conforming to that existing prior to the mineral working.
